Hello folks.

[ian_mcque]

I figure I've lurked around here long enough, time to get busy.

Here's a recent one, 'Gondola':

[elyo11]

oeeh I like.

[Baron Impossible]

Saw your workshop in IFX and was impressed by your method, and of course your results. Your work seems full of character and depth, really nice.

[Lightpunk]

Dang! Very nice indeed - post more at once!

[Bering]

Wow I love it.

Somehow it reminds me of the movie "Waterworld" - except this is taking place in the sky.
This ain't bad, since I really loved Waterworld for many years. I watched it so much on tape, the tape eventually broke! Bummer.

But I really think it's awesome, and I'd like to see more from you.

[ian_mcque]

Thanks for the comments, always welcome. Waterworld, you say? Never seen it, I was put off by the critical mauling it got. Might have to have a look now, thanks Bering!

[Mungus]

Ian, you're one of those rare things.... lightning in a bottle
fresh imagination plus skillful execution,

I wouldn't tarnish this great work with the Waterworld tag, (which is itself trying to be an aquatic Mad Max) - its totally its own thing

[djkitt]

Amazing. There are so many stories to be told in these images. And the depth, color, and lighting are fantastic. Thanks for sharing these. I could stare at them for hours.

[Dan Henk]

I like the first one the best. The contrast between the in focus floating ship, and the one behind it, is awesome.

[Jasper_]

Oh yessssssss I'm so happy to see you become a part of this community, huge fan of your work from other sites.

[Benjamin-the-Fox]

These are amazing; I love the cobbled together look of everything.

And yet they still look so clean and graphic...

[meth]

Love your work man

[Vahn]

absolutely love your work. great style!
would be cool to see how you do it

[Shadow Stalker]

Brilliant work! I love the world that you've created in these images, very inspirational. I could definitely see a role-playing game being spawned from this imagery. Excellent.

[dpaint]

Great work! This is the best stuff I've seen in a long time, thanks for posting.
I'd love to hear about your process and preferred media if you get a chance.

[robinchyo]

Beautiful work! I love the colors and just the whimsical qualities of your airship designs!

[rabieart]

Fantastic arts

[ian_mcque]

Cheers folks, much appreciated.

Vahn, dpaint - the current issue of ImagineFX features a workshop showing my process. It's available in Europe now, next month in the US (I think):

Also, there's a video grab of an ipad sketch over on my blog which is fairly basic, but you get the idea:

Thanks again.

[pimpwacker]

pretty cool.

[Lightpunk]

Woohoo, thanks for posting more, these are so great. Will definitely be checking out the ImagineFX tutorial.

[Pavel Sokov]

Oh shit these are beautifull!

I love the colorfullness of it, and the detailing is a joy to look at.

I remember seeing you on cg hub, I believe I commented!

[Velocity Kendall]

yep theres nothing about these i dont like
a bit of myazake, a bit of 5th element, and tonnes of your own style
awesome

[MoonVisionStudio]

Simply Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

[m8y]

Big fan of your work since I came across it a few months ago.

Please tell me you have some plans for this amazing world you're creating. Graphic novel or indy game maybe?

[Duman]

Wow, this needs to become an illustrated movie or tv special right away.
Beautiful rendering, wonderful ideas, and an overall amazing vibe.
Amazing work.

[papillonstudio]

great works!! I really love the color tones

[P.R]

Insane works here,
thanks so much for sharing, very inspiring!!

[JeffX99]

Great stuff! Really impressive - I'll be picking up IFX #68 for sure and checking out your blog. Looks like a guy could do pretty well in this world if he was a decent mechanic and had some welding skills!

[jbrown67]

wow! truly beautiful style. I love both your more gritty and textured style and you clean cut style... not sure which I like more! That rust texture is just gorgeous!

[BenVanDen]

I appreciate your work.
